You can throw away the manual!

I really can't say enough good about this book. I have several of David Busch's books and they're all really easy to read with everyday, easy-to-understand terms. This book leaves no stone unturned as it explains every facet of the 40D and it's successful operation. I've gone from taking just average photos before reading this book, to taking outstanding ones by the time I was finished. It makes the 40D much more fun to operate and allows me to expand my creativity. It's so good, it should be purchased along with your 40D!

Very Helpful If You Are New To The Canon EOS "D" Series Digital SLRs

This book is well written and contains very helpful "how to" information from the basics to advanced operation of the Canon EOS 40D. It also explains how to use the accompanying software for downloading your photos to a computer, as well as editing and organizing your photos. There is also a lot of useful general digital photography information contained in the book.

An excellent book

I own a Canon G5 and puuchased this book to see if the 40D is what I actually wanted and to get a running start if it were. I have studied some of it, read some of it, skimmed some of it, and have yet to read the rest of it.

It is well-written: for the most part clear and readable. It has fine illustrations, both in color and black-and-white. Glossy easy-to-read pages. An excellent addition to the manual, which can be downloaded free from the Canon web site. I would liked to have seen a much bigger (and less confused) chapter on available lenses for the 40D, since I am considering a purchase. If your money is already spent, this is not an issue for you.

I took away one star because there is way too much space spent comparing this model to other cameras such as the 30D, not only in an appendix, which would be okay, but tediously included throughout the book. Who cares about the 30D? I doubt that many 30D owners are likely to purchase a 40D so soon. I want to know about THIS camera not another one. These comparisons are useless. This objection about the wasted space should in no way be construed as a suggestion to not purchase this book. It is otherwise an excellent book worthy of your consideration.

Canon 40d guide

This book was very helpful to me.Since the 40d was the first DSLR that I have used, I found the owners manual somewhat awkward and confusing to use. You have to keep flipping back and forth between pages which can be a pain.
This was a well written, easy to follow,and concise guide to the 40d.When used in conjunction with the owners manual I found almost all of my questions answered.It has a good index and is arranged in a logial sequence.
The one short comming I found was not enough information on how to change focusing screens and set up the camera to use the newly installed screen. I found this step by step guide to changiing screens on the web here.. http://digitalphotographer.com.ph/forum/showthread.php?t=10566 . I feel I got good value for my money. Now, if someone would only publish a good guide on using the software that comes with the camera.
